In the mid-to-late 19th century Siam; women wore their hair short and combed back. However; Peguan; Burmese and Mon women were noticeable by always wearing their hair long. Whereas Siamese women wore mid-length trousers; or 'pha nung'; which were supported by a belt or tied in a knot; Mon women generally wore sarongs; longyis or ankle-length 'pha sin'. Siamese women mostly wore a cloth over their left shoulder to cover their breasts; while their Burmese counterparts wore tunics; as in this photo.
